Curious Cat
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC
Curious Cat
Seeds (magical little packages!) & The Curious Queue #9
Episode Intro
This week we are talking about seeds. Not just the ones that get caught in your teeth after eating berries, or those you spit out while noshing on a wedge of watermelon, ALL seeds. What they are, how they disperse, the special vault of world seeds, and more. I hope as you sow seeds into your local pea patch or garden that you look at those little bits with a tad more reverence after the episode.
Let’s get into it.
